The BAAN O+O floating courtyard house in Khao Yai achieves exactly this effect, and it\u2019s fascinating how Jun Sekino pulled this off. This small family vacation home sits within the lush natural landscape of Khao Yai, demonstrating how contemporary steel frame architecture can work with existing topography instead of bulldozing everything flat. What\u2019s remarkable is how the house literally floats above sloped terrain, using a sophisticated steel framework to minimize environmental impact while maximizing that incredible connection to nature. Instead of significantly altering the landscape, Jun Sekino chose an elevated approach that creates the visual impression of a house gracefully hovering above the land. The result is a design that makes you rethink what\u2019s possible when architects truly respect their sites.<\/p>\n<p>Designer: Jun Sekino<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cantilever_Design_Creates_Dramatic_Horizontal_Emphasis\"><\/span>Cantilever Design Creates Dramatic Horizontal Emphasis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The most striking feature in these exterior shots is the bold cantilever extending the upper living level about 15 feet beyond its supports.

These horizontal planes contrast beautifully with the vertical black steel columns supporting the structure at regular intervals. Looking at the photographs, the structural bay spacing appears to be roughly 20 feet, creating a rhythmic pattern that gives the house its architectural order. What\u2019s brilliant about this cantilever is that it\u2019s not just showing off, it serves multiple practical purposes that make the house livable in Thailand\u2019s intense tropical climate. The precision required to achieve this visual lightness while maintaining structural integrity demonstrates Jun Sekino\u2019s technical expertise.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-566603\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/07\/this-floating-courtyard-house-in-khao-yai-proves-steel-and-nature-make-perfect-partners\/Internet_20250717_184128_10-2.jpg\" alt=\"BAAN O+O floating courtyard house in Khao Yai showing steel framework and elevated design by Junsekino Architect\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/07\/18\/this-floating-courtyard-house-in-khao-yai-proves-steel-and-nature-make-perfect-partners\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Floating Courtyard House in Khao Yai Proves Steel and Nature Make Perfect Partners\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/07\/this-floating-courtyard-house-in-khao-yai-proves-steel-and-nature-make-perfect-partners\/Internet_20250717_184128_10-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-566603\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/07\/this-floating-courtyard-house-in-khao-yai-proves-steel-and-nature-make-perfect-partners\/Internet_20250717_184128_10-2.jpg\" alt=\"BAAN O+O floating courtyard house in Khao Yai showing steel framework and elevated design by Junsekino Architect\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/07\/18\/this-floating-courtyard-house-in-khao-yai-proves-steel-and-nature-make-perfect-partners\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Floating Courtyard House in Khao Yai Proves Steel and Nature Make Perfect Partners\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/07\/this-floating-courtyard-house-in-khao-yai-proves-steel-and-nature-make-perfect-partners\/Internet_20250717_184128_10-2.jpg\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-566594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/07\/this-floating-courtyard-house-in-khao-yai-proves-steel-and-nature-make-perfect-partners\/Internet_20250717_184128_11-2.jpg\" alt=\"BAAN O+O floating courtyard house in Khao Yai showing steel framework and elevated design by Junsekino Architect\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/07\/18\/this-floating-courtyard-house-in-khao-yai-proves-steel-and-nature-make-perfect-partners\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Floating Courtyard House in Khao Yai Proves Steel and Nature Make Perfect Partners\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/07\/this-floating-courtyard-house-in-khao-yai-proves-steel-and-nature-make-perfect-partners\/Internet_20250717_184128_11-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-566594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/07\/this-floating-courtyard-house-in-khao-yai-proves-steel-and-nature-make-perfect-partners\/Internet_20250717_184128_11-2.jpg\" alt=\"BAAN O+O floating courtyard house in Khao Yai showing steel framework and elevated design by Junsekino Architect\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/07\/18\/this-floating-courtyard-house-in-khao-yai-proves-steel-and-nature-make-perfect-partners\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Floating Courtyard House in Khao Yai Proves Steel and Nature Make Perfect Partners\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/07\/this-floating-courtyard-house-in-khao-yai-proves-steel-and-nature-make-perfect-partners\/Internet_20250717_184128_11-2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7222236028814181\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" type=\"1562952b937b0ce812ce5b74-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- In-Content-Ads-2 --><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"1562952b937b0ce812ce5b74-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Smart design thinking becomes obvious when you realize how this cantilever creates substantial covered outdoor spaces beneath the main living areas.

This lighting strategy turns the architectural gesture into a landmark that works both day and night. What\u2019s particularly clever is how the illumination highlights the precision of the steel framework, making the structural system visible and celebrated rather than hidden.

The columns create a rhythmic pattern that frames specific views while providing clear structural logic that occupants can understand and appreciate.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s where the design gets really interesting as the central courtyard serves as the organizational heart of the house, creating a double-height space that brings natural light deep into the plan while providing a focal point for circulation. What\u2019s remarkable is how the courtyard features a mature tree that appears to have been preserved from the original site, showing Jun Sekino\u2019s commitment to working with existing natural features rather than removing them. Glass walls define the courtyard space on all sides, creating the unique sensation of being simultaneously inside and outside. The timber decking surrounding the tree creates a warm material contrast to the harder surfaces of concrete and steel found elsewhere in the house. This material transition helps define the courtyard as a special space within the overall composition.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-566598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/07\/this-floating-courtyard-house-in-khao-yai-proves-steel-and-nature-make-perfect-partners\/Internet_20250717_184128_12-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1070\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/07\/18\/this-floating-courtyard-house-in-khao-yai-proves-steel-and-nature-make-perfect-partners\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Floating Courtyard House in Khao Yai Proves Steel and Nature Make Perfect Partners\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/07\/this-floating-courtyard-house-in-khao-yai-proves-steel-and-nature-make-perfect-partners\/Internet_20250717_184128_12-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-566598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/07\/this-floating-courtyard-house-in-khao-yai-proves-steel-and-nature-make-perfect-partners\/Internet_20250717_184128_12-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1070\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/07\/18\/this-floating-courtyard-house-in-khao-yai-proves-steel-and-nature-make-perfect-partners\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Floating Courtyard House in Khao Yai Proves Steel and Nature Make Perfect Partners\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/07\/this-floating-courtyard-house-in-khao-yai-proves-steel-and-nature-make-perfect-partners\/Internet_20250717_184128_12-2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Studying these photos reveals how spaces flow around the courtyard in a logical circulation pattern, with living areas, kitchen, and other functions arranged around the perimeter.

Looking at these courtyard photographs, you can see the vertical relationship between upper and lower levels, with the double-height space creating a sense of grandeur while the preserved tree provides a natural focal point that draws the eye upward. This vertical connection adds spatial complexity to what might otherwise be a simple rectangular plan, working in harmony with the perimeter glass walls to create a truly integrated interior environment. Essentially, the courtyard becomes a living sundial that marks the passage of time through changing light conditions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Material_Palette_Balances_Industrial_and_Natural_Elements\"><\/span>Material Palette Balances Industrial and Natural Elements<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>What strikes you most about this material palette is how it demonstrates a careful balance between industrial precision and natural warmth.

The concrete\u2019s neutral gray color provides a calm backdrop that allows the steel structure and natural materials to take center stage. Here\u2019s something clever about concrete that many people don\u2019t realize: its thermal mass helps moderate interior temperatures throughout the day, providing natural climate control that reduces reliance on air conditioning. This passive environmental control aligns with the house\u2019s overall sustainability strategy. Jun Sekino used concrete selectively, ensuring it contributes to both structural performance and aesthetic coherence without overwhelming the composition.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-566592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/07\/this-floating-courtyard-house-in-khao-yai-proves-steel-and-nature-make-perfect-partners\/Internet_20250717_184128_7-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"854\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/07\/18\/this-floating-courtyard-house-in-khao-yai-proves-steel-and-nature-make-perfect-partners\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Floating Courtyard House in Khao Yai Proves Steel and Nature Make Perfect Partners\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/07\/this-floating-courtyard-house-in-khao-yai-proves-steel-and-nature-make-perfect-partners\/Internet_20250717_184128_7-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-566592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/07\/this-floating-courtyard-house-in-khao-yai-proves-steel-and-nature-make-perfect-partners\/Internet_20250717_184128_7-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"854\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/07\/18\/this-floating-courtyard-house-in-khao-yai-proves-steel-and-nature-make-perfect-partners\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This Floating Courtyard House in Khao Yai Proves Steel and Nature Make Perfect Partners\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/07\/this-floating-courtyard-house-in-khao-yai-proves-steel-and-nature-make-perfect-partners\/Internet_20250717_184128_7-2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Timber appears selectively throughout the interior, most notably in the kitchen cabinetry and courtyard decking.

The cognac-colored leather creates a warm contrast to the cooler tones of the architectural materials while providing comfortable seating that invites relaxation and contemplation of the surrounding landscape. This furniture choice shows how material selection can support both aesthetic and functional goals while maintaining the house\u2019s connection to natural processes and aging. What\u2019s beautiful is how the patina that develops on leather over time will add character to the interior spaces, creating a living record of the house\u2019s use and occupation. The material\u2019s ability to improve with age mirrors the house\u2019s relationship with its natural setting, where both structure and landscape will evolve together over time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\">\n<div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\">\n<h3 class=\"sd-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SHARE\"><\/span>SHARE<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"sd-content\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"share-facebook\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-facebook-566587\" hidden>Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Facebook<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-x\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-x-566587\" hidden>Click to share on X (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>X<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-pinterest\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-pinterest-566587\" hidden>Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Pinterest<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-reddit\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-reddit-566587\" hidden>Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Reddit<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-linkedin\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-linkedin-566587\" hidden>Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>LinkedIn<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-tumblr\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-tumblr-566587\" hidden>Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Tumblr<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-pocket\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-pocket-566587\" hidden>Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Pocket<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-email\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-email-566587\" hidden>Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Email<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-print\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-print-566587\" hidden>Click to print (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Print<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"#\" class=\"sharing-anchor sd-button share-more\"><span>More<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-end\"><\/ul>\n<div class=\"sharing-hidden\">\n<div class=\"inner\" style=\"display: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"share-telegram\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-telegram-566587\" hidden>Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Telegram<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-threads\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-threads-566587\" hidden>Click to share on Threads (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Threads<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-jetpack-whatsapp\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-whatsapp-566587\" hidden>Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>WhatsApp<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-mastodon\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-mastodon-566587\" hidden>Click to share on Mastodon (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Mastodon<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-bluesky\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-bluesky-566587\" hidden>Click to share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Bluesky<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-nextdoor\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-nextdoor-566587\" hidden>Click to share on Nextdoor (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Nextdoor<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-end\"><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 --><\/p>\n<div>\n                                                            <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"vcard author\"><br \/>\n                            <span>By<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                                <span>Vincent Nguyen<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                        <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
